GOOD Catch by silvis.

The sight of Sheriff Silvis and Deputy
Cavanaugh hurrying across Market square
and down Seventeenth street toward the
river at O'Clock this morning, attracted q
good deal of attention and aroused cons
siderable curiosity At the corner of
First avenue and Eighteenth street,
Sheriff Silvis overhauled two well dress
ed pleasant appearing men, to the
younger of whom he read warrant and
then escorted him to the police station.
The prisoner had satchels in hand and an
instant later would have been on the fer
ry and across the river.
The reason of the arrest was case
described in last evenings ARGUS, where
in it was stated that a young man had
| fled from the city and gone west to avoid

come a mother, and it was Benz. F. Prem.

TO the powerful influence of books and
papers in past and present, illustrating by
references to European history, and al

upon any subject of general interest. 1t
was the influence of literature that all

MR.. LESLIE LEWIS,

superintendent of Hyde Park schools who
delivered the address of the evening. Mr.
Lewis in addressing the graduates said
he hardly knew whether this occasion
was one on which to mourn or rejoice
To the earnest young men and women
who have reached the goal they had
sought for years. it was one of rejoicing,
| yet it was not without a little of alloy
and sorrow, they had reached the point
where strong ties were broken and they
could not sever them without feeling of
regret. Agsin there was an intellectual
andmoral growth which it was pleasant to
contemplate. They we're in debt to the
people of Rock Island: they should not
forget that the people had met the ex-
penses of their education and it became
their duty to repay the debt. They should
cancel it by making true aud useful
citizens. To the question "does our
| school system pay?' he answered. yes
q thousand times and more. 1t had
done more than any other one institution
in existence. to make our country what
it was; he would not disparage the church
but if our countrys existence was to be
preserved it was largely and almost solely
because of its public schools They had
reduced all the languages of Europe to
Que within few generations; in them
Catholics aud Professionals. rich and poor
sat side by side and each learned to Ie-
gard and respect the other; no such re-
!. suit would have been possible under the
European system. He would not reflect
upon the religious, educanional system
of Europe, yet some of the most barbar
Gus and terrible of wars had been rell-
gious wars.
In abiding to anarchy and socialism,
Mr.. Lewis emphasized the assertion that
none of their advocates were educated in
our public schools; neither public seuti
meut nor the public schools would per.
init them to be supported; the public
schools of Illinois were estter protec'
ton than all the cannon in the state. The
public schools had proved rich and
profitable Investment he pitied the mar
who grumbled at his school taxes; 9
government of the people must be sup
ported by an Intelligent and power
full system of public schools; sbs
shoots should be supported not onll
morally but materially: # the expense
seemed large it was slight ia proportion
to the magnificent results attained. MI

and he was enthusiastically applaudet
at the conclusion of his address.
